Tammany Hall NYC, also abbreviated
THNYC, is an
independent rock band based in
New York City that has achieved a fair amount of success. Their music has been used in various television shows such as
The Sopranos,
Into Character,
Scrubs,
It Takes a Thief and
Sex and the City. Their music has also been used in the soundtracks for
Into The Fire, an independent film by Michael Phelan, and the New York restaurant documentary
Eat This New York.
History
Their name is derived from the historic New York political organization
Tammany Hall. Tammany Hall NYC formed in 1997, and soon began playing in local New York clubs. The group gained a strong local following, releasing their first album,
Getawayland in 1999 under the independent label Glass Records. The following year they released Back In The Bottle, an acoustic album that had more of a folk music influence than its predecessor. The use of the song "Always on Sunday" as the theme for Sex and the City's 2002 season and "Wait for You" (a remix of "Wait for Jane") on an
HBO advertisement was largely responsible for the album's success. Also, the songs "Cindy", "To the Woman" and "Someone" have been used on the NBC show
Scrubs.
Buddy, their third album, was released in February 2003, and saw them returning to the louder mix of punk and alternative rock that had characterized their debut. The song "To the Woman," from this album, was featured on
Scrubs on January 17, 2006. "Cindy," a re-recorded version of the song originally from
Back In The Bottle, was also played on Scrubs in October 2003. Later in 2003, the soundtrack to
Eat This New York was released, which showed a wide range of Latin and jazz influences on the band's part.
In December 2003 Tammany Hall NYC performed live for the
Howard Dean fundraiser at the
Roseland Ballroom in New York, where Dean greeted them personally.
In July 2005, the band released
Marathon, which is currently their latest studio album. On May 16, 2006, they also released the soundtrack of
Into The Fire.
On May 24, 2006, the 2003-recorded version of "Cindy" reached number 99 on the top 100 singles on
iTunes, from the newly released soundtrack to
Scrubs (volume 2).
In addition to his work with Tammany Hall NYC,
Stephen O'Reilly has been involved in solo projects and has acted in several films.
Style
The band itself describes its style as "
The Who without the deafness.
Matchbox Twenty without the cross over-cheddar.
Counting Crows without the Bar band factor.
Wilco with hope.
Radiohead without the computerized sorrow and bleeps and bloops.
The Police without the 80s.
Maroon 5 without
Stevie Wonder."
Members
Their current lineup consists of:
- Stephen O'Reilly - Vocals, guitar, principal songwriter.
- Matt Anthony - Lead guitar.
- Joseph Quevedo - Joey Q - Drums.
A fourth member, bassist Rod Wiliams, has worked on-and-off with the group.
